Hendy Fishery (Beat 7-1)

Salmon fishing: Pwll Craig y Lantarn

This is a very varied beat, offering salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout fishing.
The bottom 200 metres of the beat is tree-lined and deep in places. Over most of the beat,
however, the riverbank is clear of trees, making it possible for less experienced anglers
to fish from the banks.

Good salmon water near the top of the beat

There is some excellent salmon water in the topmost meadow of this beat, while the pool
tail right at the top of the beat is a noted sewin hotspot.

Beside the islands the trout fishing is particularly good

For trout fishers, the fast, narrow runs beside the islands are
particularly good, although the casting is inevitably tricky. There are also very good
ranunculus beds near the top of the beat, and they hold nice wild brown trout.

Statistics

The Hendy fishery is one that we rent; it is secured on a five-year agreement, beginning
in spring 1998. The beat comprises 1.25 miles of single-bank fishing.

Access and parking

<

Limited parking in the village

Access at Rhuddlan Lodge

There is, unfortunately, limited opportunity for parking within the
village of Rhuddlan; however, there are places on the lanes just outside the village where
members can park without obstructing the road.

The access to this beat is beside Rhuddlan Lodge, and signs are clearly visible from
the road. Members are requested to pass quietly beside the Lodge, especially after night
fishing, and to close the gate to our access path.

The access path takes you beside a 'Tolkienesque' wood; it is a dark place by day, and
so care and a good torch are needed at night.

Beat limits

The fishing extends along a short stretch of dense woodland and a further five
meadows. The lower beat limit is delineated by the entry footpath which runs beside
Rhuddlan Lodge. The upper limit is marked by an orange 'Llandysul A A' sign on a tree at
the boundary of a wood.
